+It checks for complex statements with conditional operators in conditional
+operators, which are errorprone, e.g.
+ Thing foo = IsBar() ? ( IsBaz() ? b1 : b2 ) : b3;
+
+However, it finds 556 cases in sw/source alone, thus likely needs some more
+restricting, e.g. by checking for multiline conditional operator statements or
+a certain length in characters (but that needs the Context/SourceManager, which
+I havent played with yet).
